a_o letter_n from_o mr._n edward_n whitaker_n to_o the_o protestant_a joiner_n upon_o his_o bill_n be_v send_v to_o oxford_n my_o true_a friend_n i_o can_v but_o with_o grief_n consider_v the_o approach_a danger_n that_o attend_v upon_o your_o bill_n be_v send_v to_o oxford_n where_o it_o be_v too_o much_o to_o be_v fear_v the_o tory_n and_o tantivy_z party_n prevail_v against_o the_o interest_n of_o our_o true_a bromingham_n friend_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n give_v you_o these_o caution_n consider_v our_o friend_n have_v not_o be_v so_o careful_a to_o have_v good_a sheriff_n and_o good_a mayor_n in_o all_o the_o corporation_n of_o england_n which_o neglect_n i_o fear_v will_v prove_v fatal_a nay_o most_o of_o our_o temple-bar_n friend_n may_v feel_v the_o sad_a effect_n of_o so_o great_a a_o oversight_n for_o the_o make_n of_o such_o provision_n in_o one_o place_n signify_v nothing_o unless_o they_o have_v do_v it_o every_o where_o but_o they_o take_v the_o government_n upon_o they_o and_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n if_o they_o smart_v for_o their_o carelessness_n you_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o i_o have_v no_o ill_a design_n in_o cause_v the_o l._n h._n of_o e._n to_o be_v apprehend_v if_o i_o can_v in_o any_o case_n but_o have_v be_v secure_a but_o the_o gossip_n my_o mrs._n gilslurt_n and_o mrs._n fitz-harris_n must_v be_v tattle_v that_o which_o it_o have_v be_v better_a they_o have_v not_o and_o i_o do_v no_o more_o than_o bare_a necessity_n force_v i_o to_o which_o be_v well_o know_v to_o all_o our_o honest_a friend_n i_o be_v not_o a_o little_a raise_v in_o spirit_n other_o day_n when_o i_o hear_v the_o good_a tiding_n mr._n ignoramus_n bring_v to_o our_o garrison_n and_o the_o applause_n he_o meet_v with_o from_o all_o the_o young_a squire_n of_o the_o black_a gown_n beside_o some_o of_o our_o friend_n footboy_n who_o as_o with_o one_o fum_o do_v it_o so_o exact_o that_o it_o may_v well_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o best_a of_o our_o discipline_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n my_o joy_n be_v not_o without_o sorrow_n for_o our_o dear_a friend_n s_o y_z who_o break_v his_o arm_n in_o endeavour_v to_o speak_v to_o a_o honest_a friend_n of_o the_o jury_n before_o they_o go_v out_o upon_o your_o bill_n and_o indeed_o have_v i_o not_o be_v confine_v i_o do_v intend_v to_o that_o myself_o and_o will_v take_v care_n of_o your_o oxford_n jury_n if_o i_o can_v possible_o any_o way_n find_v the_o way_n thither_o but_o you_o know_v of_o my_o condition_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v have_v i_o favourable_o excuse_v to_o our_o friend_n that_o will_v be_v send_v thither_o my_o friend_n be_v cheerful_a for_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o you_o be_v not_o forsake_v for_o upon_o your_o case_n hang_v all_o our_o case_n and_o if_o you_o hang_v it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v we_o shall_v few_o of_o we_o escape_v better_o and_o by_o the_o way_n take_v these_o follow_a direction_n when_o you_o come_v upon_o your_o trial_n be_v sure_a to_o except_v against_o all_o the_o tory_n and_o tantivy_z man_n that_o shall_v be_v impanel_v for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o persuade_v any_o single_a man_n of_o that_o party_n to_o move_v a_o quarter_n of_o a_o inch_n from_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o by_o keep_v to_o that_o rule_n some_o of_o our_o bromingham_n friend_n will_v chap_v in_o at_o last_o upon_o your_o trial_n for_o life_n and_o death_n and_o you_o may_v well_o guess_v the_o man_n friend_n will_v be_v there_o to_o give_v you_o the_o watchword_n and_o they_o can_v want_v encouragement_n to_o be_v honest_a and_o so_o far_o fear_v not_o and_o bear_v up_o manful_o as_o you_o have_v hitherto_o do_v in_o despite_n of_o they_o all_o i_o can_v recommend_v our_o agent_n to_o a_o alehousekeeper_n that_o live_v near_o the_o theatre_n he_o be_v a_o very_a honest_a man_n as_o i_o may_v say_v and_o have_v have_v the_o king's-head-letter_n ever_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o plot_n that_o be_v a_o man_n that_o may_v be_v confide_v in_o and_o will_v give_v you_o notice_n of_o all_o our_o true_a friend_n that_o live_v in_o those_o part_n which_o at_o this_o season_n may_v be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o your_o deliverance_n as_o you_o know_v how_o and_o i_o be_o well_o assure_v the_o good_a people_n will_v not_o be_v spare_v in_o their_o labour_n if_o they_o can_v any_o way_n be_v induct_v to_o serve_v you_o and_o if_o they_o be_v careful_a of_o inquire_v among_o they_o you_o will_v find_v that_o some_o of_o they_o will_v lend_v you_o a_o hard_a word_n or_o two_o you_o know_v what_o i_o mean_v and_o it_o will_v be_v better_a take_v then_o to_o bring_v any_o of_o our_o batter_a london-face_n to_o a_o place_n where_o they_o be_v so_o general_o know_v but_o if_o none_o of_o the_o forementioned_a shift_n take_v place_n and_o you_o must_v after_o all_o be_v find_v guilty_a upon_o your_o last_o plea_n tell_v they_o you_o have_v something_o of_o importance_n to_o declare_v in_o private_a and_o in_o troth_n if_o it_o come_v to_o that_o tell_v all_o for_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o do_v it_o myself_o but_o that_o i_o keep_v as_o my_o last_o stake_n and_o if_o you_o observe_v that_o you_o will_v easy_o judge_v how_o much_o you_o may_v be_v a_o saver_n by_o the_o bargain_n and_o let_v they_o dance_v that_o have_v all_o along_o pay_v the_o piper_n for_o they_o have_v more_o money_n and_o wit_n to_o defend_v themselves_o than_o we_o and_o beside_o it_o be_v almost_o moral_o impossible_a if_o there_o be_v as_o many_o witness_n against_o they_o as_o
